Photos: Trump Returns To White House, Meets Biden First Time After Election

President-elect, Donald Trump, on Wednesday, met with President Joe Biden for a ceremony meant to signal the peaceful transfer of power.

Trump’s return to the White House in Washington is the first time since he was voted out of office in 2020.

The two men appeared briefly for photos, with Biden speaking first and calling for a smooth transition.

Trump responded that politics “is tough” but thanked the president for a smooth transition. “You’re welcome,” Biden responded.

Naija News understands that the duo did not respond to questions from reporters.

Trump did not offer Biden the same meeting in 2020, as he refused to concede the election results and worked to delay Biden’s taking office.

Vice President Kamala Harris conceded defeat last Wednesday before a crowd of supporters in Washington.

Trump was also greeted by First Lady Jill Biden, who gave him a handwritten letter of congratulations for Melania Trump, which also expressed her team’s readiness to assist with the transition, according to her office.

Trump has been in Florida since Election Day, surrounded by allies and advisers as he begins rolling out a list of Cabinet and other prize appointments stacked with loyalists.

Trump returns to Washington to bask in the glow of his party’s sweeping electoral success, having secured control of the Senate and possibly the House, too.
